This year’s Super Bowl halftime show performed by Bad Bunny, Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, was a historic event that focused on Puerto Rican heritage and how love conquers hate.

Many criticized the choice of Bad Bunny as the performer but most of the critiques seemed to be rooted in racism because Bad Bunny is a beloved superstar with millions and millions of streams, many that come from America. Not forgetting that Puerto Rico is a part of the United States and that there have been several non-American performers at the Super Bowl.

Bad Bunny’s performance was almost entirely in Spanish and even non-Spanish speakers could enjoy Bad Bunny’s beautiful voice and catchy beats. He even noted that people did not need to know Spanish, he just wanted to get viewers to dance.

Ocasio wore a mock white jersey with his last name on the back. His all white outfit perfectly complemented the colorful set design on the field. Everything during the halftime show was a beautiful tribute to Latino culture. The set design reflected Puerto Rican life. Ocasio fell into a house in the beginning with a depiction of a vibrant family, the “family” yelling at Ocasio for making a mess.

Ocasio performed many of his most popular and beloved songs from his latest album “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” which won Album of the Year at this year’s Grammys. The songs he sang included “Tití Me Preguntó,” “Yo Perreo Sola,” “Safaera,” “Party” and “Mónaco.”

When Ocasio first walked on the field, he picked up an engagement ring and handed it to a man who then proposed to a woman. Later, we saw the depiction of this wedding, in which reportedly the couple actually got married on stage.

Lady Gaga was a surprise guest at this part as she sang her hit song “Die With a Smile” in a salsa-like style. Gaga wore a blue dress while everyone around her was in white celebrating the couple. The whole performance was a big celebration of smiles and love felt amongst all of the dancers and performers. The wedding sequence in particular was most notably filled with this love of culture.

Ocasio’s voice was nearly perfect throughout the performance with a great balance of rap and singing. Even if some people could not understand the words Ocasio was singing, anyone watching could feel the heart and soul of his performance.

Ocasio had his Grammy speech playing on a small TV as a little boy and his family watched. Ocasio went up to the boy and handed him the Grammy he won and said, “Cree siempre en ti,” which translates to “Always believe in yourself.” These small moments of the show were powerful symbols that Latinos are not going anywhere and are a powerful force in American culture.

The ending of the show was a perfect closure to the message that was strung through the whole time: that love conquers all when we come together. The dancers all held flags of different countries as Ocasio began naming countries within the Americas including the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Columbia and more.

The jumbotron in the background flashed the words “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” He ended the list with his native land Puerto Rico in which he yelled, “And my motherland, mi patria, Puerto Rico, seguimos aquí” (we are still here).

Ocasio held a football that said “Together We Are America” and then proceeded to spike it on the ground. Bad Bunny’s halftime show was one of the best halftime shows the NFL has seen because of its impact to the culture as well as the energy Ocasio brought to the stadium.
